Covid is less complicated safely.
The coronavirus has paralyzed tourism. Now that the adventure is to be reborn very slowly, the virus is asking questions about protocols and defense standards. But how do we know what is safe, what protocols are followed and who has approved them? The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) is looking to facilitate the decryption of protocols and standards, and Mexico is one of the first to address. Once the State Department and CDC have given the go-ahead for travel, the WTTC initiative deserves to help you more fluently and reliably determine your destination country.
The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) is an un proven compatibility organisation founded in the United Kingdom that aims to incorporate a “transparent, safe, inclusive and sustainable” travel and tourism sector. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the WTTC has created a non-common set of criteria and regulations to support the safety of travelers and those operating in the industry. Its persistent protocols are aligned with the rules of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are supported by the United Nations World Tourism Organization. Protocols can be a daily counter-independence as scientists become more informed about the hot coronavirus that infects millions of Americans around the world.
With its new Safe Travels shock absorber, the Council’s goal is to “rearrange Jstomer’s worldwide confidence and hiking,” Gloria Guevara, PRESIDENT and CEO of WTTC, said in a statement. To achieve the Safe Travels seal, the WTTC validates Covid-1nine protocols for hiking destinations and businesses and, in turn, is committed to continuing to comply, even assuming that protocols are updated. The WTTC has established general protocols in addition to protocols for hotel companies, airports, aviation, attractions, tour operators, short-term accommodation rentals, car rental, outdoor shopping, conventions and events.
One of Mexico’s most popular tourist destinations, the Mexican Caribbean, “has the first destination in the Americas to achieve [the seal],” says the Director of the Tourism Council of Quintana Roo, Darío Flota. As he explains, “this certification program … aims to maintain the ultimate logical health measures for the prevention and containment of Covid-1nine and builds the trust of travelers, partners and the community.”
Travelers can rest more peacefully knowing that there are approved criteria, without feeling in studies how the protocols of individual jurisdictions and corporations differ from each other.
While Mexico’s land border remains closed, Mexico invites travelers to make a big block of its main tourist destinations (even though the State Department’s Global Health Notice remains at “Level 4: Do Not Travel”). Several sites have won the Global Safety Safe Travels label and any of them gradually reopen their doors according to their own schedule. Mexican destinations with the Safe Travels label include:
Baja California Sur: The southern component of the Baja Peninsulos angeles opened on June 15. At the southern end of the peninsulos Angeles, where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet, is the los Cabos region, which includes the city of Cabo San Lucas Plus other lonely beaches and hotel areas. Two hours to the north, along the Sea of Cortez, is La Paz, known for its marine life and Caribbean-flavored beaches. Further north is Loreto, the first Spanish colobig block in the peninsulos Angeles and a whale watching center.
Mexican Caribbean: The Mexican Caribbean has reopened its doors to tourism since June 8. The deception encompasses the state of Quintana Roo, which extends from Holbox Island to northern Chetumal in the south. The Mexican Caribbean includes those popular destinations:
Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende: called “Heart of Mexico”, with its historic UNESCO World Heritage site, San Miguel de Allende has been open to visitors since July 1. One position to stick is the spacious Live Aqua Urban Resort San Miguel de Allende, on the outskirts of the city, in terms of the walking distance of the pink church of the city’s ‘wedding cake’. The hotel has a long swimming pool on a dry riverbed and several outdoor dining spots.
Jalisco: Most travelers arrive in the state of Jalisco, known as the cradle of tequila, through the airports of Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara, the state capital. The state reopened to tourism on June 15.
Riviera Nayarit: Just 10 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta Airport is the state of Nayarit, which reopened on June 15. The Riviera Nayarit is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre Mountains. The most popular destinations come with Banderas Bay, where humpback whales, Marieta Islands and the cities of Nuevo Vallarta and Sayulita are born.
Yucatan: This state, just north of Cancun, is known as the “gateway to the Mayan world”. The outstanding facilities come with the UNESCO World Heritage site Chichen Itza and the city of Merida.
Mexico will welcome returnees safely.

I love to encourage culturgreatest friend, Economicgreatest friend and Environmentgreatest friend sustainable travel. Whether you’re writing about a lifetime-unique vacation or eating on the street, I’m looking to raise guilty tourism elements to turn travelers into undeniable tactics to keep things from getting worse when we travel (and the play station even turns out of them). I have traveled alone on one and on any continent (unless in Antarctica), I have been to more than 60 countries and feel incredibly lucky to live in Vancouver, Canada. Based on my professional career as a canadian government policy officer, I have written extensively about COVID-19, adding a Fodor guide. My annotations come with National Geographic, Fodor’s, Lonely Planet, USA Today, Reader’s Digest, The Independent and Canadian Traveller.
